Noland Arbaugh, paralyzed since 2016, received Neuralink's brain-computer interface (BCI) chip in January.
The BCI allows him to control a computer cursor with his mind, restoring independence.
Arbaugh can now play video games and outperform his friends using only his thoughts.
The technology works by detecting electrical impulses generated when thinking about movement.
Privacy concerns exist regarding access to thoughts, beliefs, and feelings.
A disconnection incident occurred but was resolved with improvements to the device.
Arbaugh hopes the technology will advance to control his wheelchair or a humanoid robot.
